Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."It is a stable solution."
"The performance is very good."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"From the user's perspective, the performance of the columnar queries is very good in terms of the database when comparing it to the Oracle, and MySQL."
"It's easy to set up."
"It's open source."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the power it provides. It is a powerful solution."
"Great monitoring and performance stability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"The price could be less expensive."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"Maria DB has to improve from a management perspective."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"It would be good if they can maybe improve the mass import in the database. Currently, for importing a large number of data, we create a CSV file and upload all the things in the system. The system does not activate them by default. We have to do this manually. This may be due to the version we are using, but this is something we would like to see improved."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
